Message from the DEAN
Assalamualaikum w.b.t and warm greetings
Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering
E
ngineering education at the tertiary
level began in Malaysia in 1956 with the establishment of the Engineering Department at University of Malaya’s Bukit timah campus in Singapore. Only a Bachelor Degree
course in Civil Engineering was offered then. The
department was upgraded to a faculty when University of Malaya relocated to its campus in Lembah Pantai in 1958.
In the same year, the second bachelor degree
course in Mechanical Engineering was introduced.
A year later, a Bachelor Degree course in Electrical
Engineering was added to the number of courses
available to undergraduates.
In 1970, the Faculty introduced the fourth course,
a bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering. All four
courses were turned into respective departments
in 1974. In the 1996/97 session, the Faculty introduced six other courses namely in Telecommuncation Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Materials Engineering, Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.
To-date, the Faculty has six departments, Civil Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Design & Manufacture.
The Faculty now offers 12 programmes, with the
lates addition of the Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering (Prosthetics and Orthotics) which was introduced in the 2009/2010 session.
All engineering courses, offered by University of
Malaya, have been accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC), the Board of Engineers,
Malaysia (BEM) in order for all undergraduate engineering students to register with them, upon grad-
uation. All programmes have been structured such,
that they meet the nation and the stakeholder’s
vision of producing responsible, multi-talented and
highly qualified engineers of excellent leadership
quality. This is evident from the Programme Outcome and Programme Educational Objectives
mapped out for each course offered.
In line with the global tertiary education scenario,
efforts are in place to drive the Faculty towards excellence and to ensure that the human capital produced
by the university meets current needs.
Towards this direction, the Faculty has adopted the
National Tertiary Education Strategic Plan and inputs
from various stakeholder programmes as the basis to
improve the quality, competitiveness and creativity
of each course offered. As a preliminary step to ensure that all courses offered are relevant to market
needs, the Faculty is reviewing the overall curriculum
in order to produce engineering graduates of high
calibre.

BRIEF PROFILE
DEPARTMENT OF
The Department of Chemical Engineering has its roots in the Chemical
Technology course which was established in the Department of Chemistry
in 1965. The first intake of students was in 1967 and the first group of
graduates emerged in 1971. In 1975 the course in Chemical Technology was
renamed Chemical Engineering and was placed under the wings of the
Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya.
The Department runs an eight semesters (4 years) undergraduate
programme in Chemical Engineering. The curriculum leading to the degree
of Bachelors of Engineering (Chemical) is designed to provide a proper
balance between the fundamental aspects of Chemical Engineering and
applications to the operation, design, analysis of engineering systems.
The degree is recognized and
accredited by Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC)
under the Board of Engineers,
Malaysia (BEM) and the
Institution of Chemical Engineers
(IChemE, UK). Recently the
Department’s programme has
been accredited as Masters of
Engineering (Chemical) by the
IChemE and all freshmen will be
inducted in this new programme.
The Department also offers
postgraduate programmes by
research leading to the degrees
of Masters of Engineering
Science in Chemical Engineering
and Doctor of Philosophy.
INTRODUCTION OF
OUTCOME-BASED
EDUCATION (OBE)
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) had been
implemented in the Faculty of Engineering
since 2004, in accordance with the directives
of the Ministry of Higher Education and the
Board of Engineers, Malaysia (BEM). This is
also one of the requirements for Malaysia to
become a full member of the Washington
Accord, an international agreement to
mutually recognize Bachelor degrees in
engineering. The implementation of OBE, as
outlined below, is based on guidelines
prescribed by the Engineering Accreditation
Council (EAC) of Malaysia.
Unlike the traditional teacher-centred
method, OBE is an educational approach that
is more concerned about the outcome (what
students can do) rather than the process
(what instructors did). This is believed to
enhance learning, and hence produce better
graduates. For OBE to be successful, it is
critical to prescribe the expected outcomes, to
measure them objectively, and to take
corrective actions where required.
The outcomes are prescribed at two levels:
(a) Course Outcomes (CO) --- what students
should be able to perform at the end of
each course
(b) Programme outcomes (PO) --- a
composite set of abilities after students
finished all courses
All COs will contribute to some of the POs.
This is to ensure that upon completion of the
courses, all POs are sufficiently covered.
Programme Educational
Objectives (Peo)
The PEO is a set of objectives that the academic programme aspires
that the graduates would achieve in their career and professional life a
few years after graduation.
To guide the formation and fine-tuning of these outcomes, the
Department has formulated the Programme Educational Objectives
(PEO). These are aspirations for graduates to attain 3 to 5 years upon
graduation. The POs are designed to produce graduates who are wellprepared to achieve these PEOs.
The PEOs and POs had been formulated in consultation with all major
stakeholders (employers, alumni and students), to meet the demands
of a challenging and globalized workplace. Any material changes will
also require their views.
A critical component of OBE is the objective measurement of the
outcomes. This is done via multiple channels and methods. At the
course level, there is formative assessment via discussion, assignment,
quizzes etc., in addition to the summative assessment in the final
examination. Students also have the opportunity to provide feedback
through course evaluation, meetings with their academic advisors,
annual surveys, and student-lecturer meetings.
Opinions and
feedback from external parties, e.g. employers, alumni, Industrial
Advisory Panel, are also routinely sought to further calibrate the
outcome measurements.
Based on the input and trends received, the Department will take the
necessary corrective actions, and the results monitored. In short, OBE
is a dynamic, student-centred educational process which incorporates
continuous improvement.

Students will be introduced to computers and their roles in
numerical analysis. Three software packages will be introduced,
i.e. MATLAB, Excel and MathCAD, with emphasis on the first two.
Numerical differentiation is introduced together with array
manipulation in computer software. Truncation errors will be
used to provide error estimates. This is followed by numerical
integration, together with summation and looping in softwares.
Root finding of single non-linear equation will further require use
of logical operations in MATLAB or built-in functions in Excel.
Solution of linear systems via Gauss-Seidel and Gaussian
elimination uses nested loops with more complicated operations.
This paves the way for the Newton-Raphson method which
combines non-linear root finding algorithm with linear systems.
Throughout the various methods, there will be emphasis on error
estimates and proper use of significant digits.

Macroscopic mass and linear momentum balance using vector
notation begins the course. This is followed by expression of
stresses due to fluid motion, leading to the viscous stress tensor for
compact representation.
The extended Divergence Theorem
enables conversion into the differential form, i.e. Cauchys first
equation of motion. The alternative approach based on differential
momentum balance yields identical result. Application of the
inviscid or Newtonian constitutive equation leads respectively to the
Euler equation and the Navier-Stokes equation. Discussions on
initial and boundary conditions follow. Sample problems amenable
to analytical solutions will be discussed. Software packages and
formulation to facilitate numerical solutions will also be touched.
The constitutive equations for non-Newtonian fluids widen the
applicability of Cauchys equation, allowing friction factor
expressions. The inability to compute even more complex flows
reasonably will require use of correlations; in which the caution
required must be highlighted.

macroscopic systems.
Explain the basis for the derivation of the continuity and the
Navier-Stokes equation.

transfer problems analytically, i.e uni-directional flow, Stokes
flow, flow in one dimension.
Explain the basis of numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes
equation for more complicated cases, e.g. Blasius’s solution of
the laminar boundary layer equations.
Explain features and characterization of non-Newtonian fluids,
and know the inapplicability of the Navier-Stokes equation.
Explain the modelling and experimental approaches to complex
flow (e.g. turbulent flow, multiphase flow)..

This course introduces the concept of chemical reaction
engineering such as rate expressions, conversion and etc. These
concepts are used to derive equation for rate of reaction, based
on pseudo steady state assumption, rate limiting step
assumptions. The rate equations can be used to derive design
equation for different types of reactors (batch, CSTR, PFR, PBR)
and reaction schemes (constant and variable volume). Based on
the knowledge of types of reactors, the experimental data for
determination of kinetic parameters can be analysed. The course
also covers mass and energy balances to examine multiple steady
state phenomenon for non isothermal and adiabatic reactors.

This course introduces the necessary background, i.e. Lagrange
interpolating polynomials as basis functions for expanding
quantities and coordinates, derivatives and integrals of quantities
so expanded, and tessellation of the computational domain.
Pertinent vector calculus, chemical engineering related governing
equations together with the initial and boundary conditions will
also be reviewed. FEM is treated as a variant of the method of
weighted residuals. The Galerkin weak form is the core of the
FEM, from which the elemental and global matrices arise. The
often non-linear set of equations is solved mainly with the
Newton-Raphson method. The details of the programming and
critical analysis of the results will be elaborated. Methods to
handle more advanced problems involving time dependence and
deformable domains conclude the course.
